ELCCO Preschool is now open at Crook County High School! Enroll Today. ERDC Accepted
At Early Learning Centers of Central Oregon, we believe that quality early childhood education should be both enriching and accessible. Setting tuition is never just about numbers—it’s about honoring the value of our educators, the depth of our programming, and the trust families place in us.
Our rates are thoughtfully designed to reflect the true cost of delivering a nurturing, play-based learning environment where children thrive. This includes fair wages for our dedicated staff, safe and inspiring classroom materials, and the behind-the-scenes work that keeps our centers running smoothly—from curriculum planning to family support.
We also consider the needs of our local community. We strive to balance sustainability with affordability, offering flexible schedules, sibling discounts, and occasional enrollment bonuses to help families find the right fit.
Ultimately, our tuition structure is a reflection of our values: transparency, care, and a deep commitment to giving every child a joyful start.
The Employment Related Day Care (ERDC) program helps eligible families in Oregon pay for child care while they work, attend school, or participate in job training. It’s designed to make quality care more accessible, so parents can focus on building their future while their children thrive in safe, nurturing environments like ours.
ERDC can cover a significant portion of your child care costs, and families contribute based on their income. If you qualify, it’s a wonderful way to make our program more affordable while still enjoying all the benefits of our enriching, play-based curriculum.
